Two people who attended to Trump rally at the Gaston Municipal Airport have tested positive for COVID-19 according to county health officials. "Anyone who was in attendance at the rally is encouraged to monitor their symptoms and seek testing if needed."
Pumpkins finally acquired. Buying them in a pandemic proved.....difficult. 🎃
I've known a few writers who'd claim they needed a drink before writing (spoiler: it actually made their writing worse).
I'm seriously wondering if Kavanaugh did the same before writing his F-grade opinion. If I'd ever turned in something so error riddled, lacking in basic understanding of how our system of government functions, and what philosophies underlie it, I'd have been laughed out of the department and denied my degree.

Trump dropped $10M into his campaign in the final days of 2016...and it looks like foreign money. A bribe. From Egypt.
It is simply unbelievable that investigators were too chicken shit to subpoena his finances.

The laptop tale appears to be as legitimate as Trump.
"On Wednesday afternoon, a group of reporters, among them a journalist for The Daily Beast, spoke with the owner of the shop, a man named John Paul Isaac who lives in Wilmington, Delaware. The audio of that nearly hour-long question and answer session is below."

Alright new eggs, remember a social network is only as good as you make it. Post stuff, pop into comments and find a way to contribute!
Don’t be afraid to block or put someone on mute so they scream into the ether unaware you can’t hear their drivel. Lastly, don’t forget there’s privacy controls on both your toots and your comments to help you further control who sees what you post.
Anyone have additional information on the possible collision of space debris this week?

Hazy shade of winter
The Bangles (cover of simon and garfunkel)
The maple leaves are near changing, which is my signal that I'll soon be engaging in my holiday-diversions/election-avoidance activities. Normally I just cut my social screentime down to less than an hour per day, but this year I might post about it. I get bizarrely and obsessively domestic - rituals, crafts, decorating, baking, weaving etc...
I pretty much dodge the outside world for a few peaceful months as the land sleeps.
[I'm posting this to remind myself of this through January.]

Here's the FULL article. Read it. Seriously. Read it.
"Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’.
The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic."

I feel like 
has said much, much worse about the military over the years that we haven’t heard about.
It’s projection- he dodged the draft so he has to disparage the very thing he was too cowardly to do. Also, his comments (per Rachel Maddow) are like the comments Vietnam Vets heard when they returned from war. That is the era the coward-in-chief is stuck in.
